    The guy you’re responding to has a valid point.

    No way the son would get away with these actions at a physical store. “My dad was in here earlier, you saw him, i like to keep using his credit card tho, thanks”

    Gee, I wonder why scamming is so huge after turning the digital market in to full “end-user responsibility” and tech companies removing carefully curated practices over the centuties for profit maximization.

    Google earns billions of these scummy tactics to get users to spend as much as possible by removing any barriers of control and security. Why dont they get any of the responsibility?

      It’s only a valid point if you’re talking about mobile app purchases where Google actually abuses parent/child financial decisions.

      Google’s advertising business is a different story altogether. You’re expected to spend quite a lot on campaigns, and not expected to hand control over to a child.
